even tho hinata was extremely shy in part one i think she developed quite nicely as the series goes on. i mean she has gained confidence and she fights for what she believes in and what she wants( to protect her friends, family and the man she loves)sometimes she not only surprises naruto but she surprises me( and you guys as well)

I think Hinata has been giving us nice surprises since the fight against Neji, I have always seen her as a strong woman, only shy about her feelings but not weak, she has been a hard worker just as Naruto, with the difference that the one that was supposed to support Hinata, despised her and that hurted her self confidence.
